My City Prishtina ,Kosovo

hi guys i want tell you about my city Pristina i hope you one day come and visit my country kosovo and my city Prishtina.

The city has a majority Albanian population, alongside other smaller communities. With a municipal population of around 200,000 inhabitants, Pristina is the third-largest Albanian-speaking city in the world (after Tiranë and Durrës).[5] Geographically, it is located in the north-eastern part of Kosovo close to the Goljak mountains. The city is situated some 250 kilometres north-east of Tirana, 90 kilometres north of Skopje, 520 kilometres south of Belgrade and 300 kilometres east of Podgorica.

During the Paleolithic Age, what is now the area of Pristina was envolved by the Vinča culture. Pristina was home to several Illyrian and Roman people at the classical times. The king of the Dardanian Kingdom, Bardyllis brought various tribes together in the area of Pristina in the 4th century BC, establishing the Dardanian Kingdom.[6][7][8] The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient city of Ulpiana, that was considered one of the most important Roman cities in the Balkan peninsula. In the middle ages, Pristina was an important town in Medieval Serbia and also the royal estate of Stefan Milutin, Stefan Uros III, Stefan Dusan, Stefan Uros V and Vuk Brankovic.[9]

When the Ottomans conquered the Balkan peninsula, Pristina was classified as an important mining and trading center on the market, due to its strategic position near the rich mining town of Novo Brdo. The city was known for its trade fairs and items, such as goatskin and goat hair, as well as gunpowder produced by artisans from Pristina in 1485.[10] The first mosque in Pristina was built in the late 14th century, while under the Serbian rule.[11] Pristina has always been considered as a city where tolerance and coexistence in terms of religion and culture has been part of the society in the last centuries.

Being the capital city, Pristina is considered as the heart of Kosovo because of its central location and its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education, service, research and healthcare. Almost all domestic and foreign companies, media and scientific institutions have their headquarters in the city.

See

 

• Don't miss the Pristina Ethnographic museum tucked back in the old town streets about 5 minutes walk from the main museum. It's been creatively curated, with video and music, and is housed in two stunning eighteenth and nineteenth century houses, one kept as it would have been lived in, the other with 'the room of birth', 'the room of death', costumes, and beautiful traditional jewellery with enthusiastic guides.
• The national museum, in an Austro-Hungarian style building is free
• Check out the mosques on Nazim Gafurri Street including Jashar Pasha Mosque
• A couple minute's walk from the Grand Hotel Pristina is the library of the University of Pristina. It looks like it is constructed of massive concrete Lego bricks and then covered with chain mail. It is certainly worth a look.
• To see the city from street-level is best: you could start in front of the three-storey portrait of Bill Clinton, and stroll past the university to the Grand Hotel. Follow Nena Tereze (Mother Teresa) street towards the Skenderbeg monument and the new Government Building, then point yourself toward the historic mosques and the old quarter and market. You could also visit the park dedicated to now-deceased President Ibrahim Rugova. Stop off regularly at one of the cafes that are the heart of Kosovo's social, political and business life, and drink a wonderful makiato (the best outside of Italy).

Huge oak forest beyond Germia park, adjacent Pristina.

• Out of the city, you can refresh and stretch your legs in Gërmia Park. During the summer, the lake-sized swimming pool here is a hot spot for families and young people, but year-round the park itself offers grassy spaces to relax or kick a ball around, and a network of trails through the dense woods perfect for dog-walking or drunken hide-and-seek tournaments. A couple of restaurants at the top of the park have good food and nice views. Also interesting to check out the cluster-bombed police bunker, just up the road from the best restaurant.
• Nena Tereze Cathedral (Katedralja Nene Tereza), Rruga Justiniani, Prishtinë 10000, Kosovo. Pay 1€ to get to the top of the bell tower and enjoy the panoramic view of the City. 

these are some of the places you can visit.
